The Simple Truth About True Love
We live in a society that drives people to selfishness. So much of the advertising we see and hear influences us to want more and more and to never be satisfied with what we have. But the more selfish and self-centered we are, the less power we have to do good and help others.

The Truth About God's Love
The most important thing we can do as Christians is love God and love people. But before we can love anyone, we have to receive God's love. Because you can't give away something you don't have.

Renew Your Mind and Change Your Life
What are you thinking about? Do you ever think about what you're thinking about? Do you know that you can choose your thoughts? That might seem like a strange thing to say, but the truth is, many people don't realize they can choose what they think about. And it's important for us to choose our thoughts carefully because our thoughts have a lot to do with our perspectives and attitudes.

God has great plans for our lives, and He wants to use us to do great things for Him. But before He can put us in a position to use our gifts and talents in our fullest potential, we have to learn how to be stable, reliable and in control of our emotions.

Relying on the Unreliable: Feelings Our No. 1 Enemy?
Our feelings are extremely unreliable, yet it is amazing to me how often we rely on them. I believe that feelings are often a Christian's number one enemy, and they can keep us from truly living in the perfect will of God because the enemy can so easily use them against us. Now, I'm not saying that our feelings are evil; they just dwell in a part of us that is so easily attacked by the enemy – our soul. So it's vitally important for us to learn how to manage them.

Grace: The Great Equalizer
If there's one thing I've realized in life, it's that we can never ask God for too much grace. And we all need it – every day, for everything we need to do in life. Because God loves us so much, He gave His only begotten Son to die for our sins so we can receive His grace, both for our salvation and then to help us walk out our life in Christ with His power.

Are You Frustrated? Get Humble and Reflect on Grace
God's grace is amazing but sometimes I wonder if we have forgotten how truly amazing it is. The word "grace" is often so common in church or other religious settings that it can become familiar, causing us to forget its true value. Romans 5:8 (AMP) says, "But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us."

The Source of Power and Change Is in God
In Luke 18:27, we're encouraged to trust that "what is impossible with man is possible with God." Basically, this is saying that what we cannot do in our lives through our own strength… God can. This is especially encouraging when it comes to trying to change things about ourselves.

Who's Really in Control? Learning How to Overcome Impulsive Behaviors
When we enter into a relationship with God, we experience a divine exchange where He takes our sin and gives us His righteousness. He also puts the seed of the Fruit of the Spirit in us (see Galatians 5:22-23). But in order for this fruit to grow in our lives, we have to study the Word and spend time with God so He can do this work in our soul.
